Some of these might be a little more difficult for some of you guys to identify.

I had to do this to be able to stash both cars with the tops up. I also raised my garage door to hug the ceiling.

I also used a side car door opener to be able to park a longer car on top.

Superb choice there Russ - really tasty! Love the Charger - have wanted one of those since, well, since "the Dukes of Hazzard". And the Willys - well, awesome...

Having said that, Mike, isn't the same type Honda as Bruce Willis/ "Butch" drove in Pulp Fiction? Too cool my friend, too cool... :drunken:

Helen, you should have a look at Harry Pellows books. I know at least one of them has information on 356 police cars including period pictures. He owned one as well.
Will have a look to see which book it is.

There is plenty of room, had I been paying attention. :oops: It's much easier with the platform up. With it down the support cables encroach 2" on each side. That's what I rubbed, not the upright.

That's what made this ugly pattern.
